Chapter 911 New Identities

Although Lin Mengya was in Sanjue Hall, she was well updated about what had happened in the Capital City.

Prince Yu’s marriage with Feng Zidie had been completely torpedoed because of the fierce objection from the old ministers of the previous emperor.

Long Tianyu had not said anything, but Miss Feng was so desperate that she had made a fuss at home.

Given her status, she could barely influence the current situation without Prince Yu’s dedicated support.

Therefore, her current position was more awkward than anyone else’s.

Fortunately, the Empress had pitied her and summoned her into the palace to comfort her.

Lin Mengya heard Miss Feng had entered the palace crying but come out with a smile.

It seemed she had learned a lot from the Empress.

But Lin Mengya had no time to deal with her now.

Because the people in Sanjue Hall who were secretly looking for Lin Mengya’s father and brother had come back and reported that they had seen two people who looked like them in a small town in Lieyun.

But they must sneak into the gathering places of the tribes if they wanted to investigate more.

However, it was easier said than done because the tribes were usually living in the depths of the mountains.

Moreover, there were venomous insects guarding outside. If they barged in rashly, they would alert the people inside, although it would not be a big deal. However, it would put the person who was inquiring about the news inside into danger.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya was good at dealing with venomous insects, so she quickly developed an anti-venomous insect drug that contained her blood.

No matter how powerful the venomous insects were, they would not dare to hurt the people who held the anti-venomous insect drug.

She ordered Qinghu in detail that he must find out where her father and elder brother were on the premise that the safety of her subordinates was ensured.

But she was still a little worried because she had not expected them to appear in Lieyun.

This couldn’t be a mere coincidence. It seemed all the people would gather at the same place by different means in the end. That place had been sleeping, but they would forcibly open it up because of their ambitions.

She hoped that it wouldn’t cause a catastrophe.

“Mengya, although your blood is useful, don’t squander it. If the leader finds it out, he will try to get your blood at all costs.”

Baili Rui, who had recovered a little, was sitting on a chair while watching his student fiddle with the herbs.

He was very satisfied with her.

When Lin Mengya looked up, she saw her teacher who was gradually regaining his spirit.

It seemed those herbs had not been wasted because he looked much better now.

She knew he was worried about her, so she nodded with a smile, thinking she had to be more careful in the future.

“I see. Although my blood is a treasure, it may bring me a disaster. By the way, I have something to ask you… Forget it. It’s not a big deal. I’ll ask you after I solve the current problem.”

In fact, Lin Mengya wanted to ask if he could make her pregnant.

But after a second thought, she changed her mind. Her teacher cared for her very much, so he would try desperately to help her even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

But she didn’t want him to worry about her. Moreover, she still had a lot of things to do, so it was not good timing to give birth to a baby now.

“Go ahead if there’s anything you want to say. Although I am old, I will try my best to help you.”

Lin Mengya had told him the whole story before.

After hearing what had happened, Baili Rui had sighed with emotion, decided to let the past go, and become unworldly.

Now, he wanted to do nothing but help his student.

But she seemed to be more restless than before.

Take the courtyard they were living in for example. When he had gotten to know it was built above the water, he had thought it would collapse if there was an earthquake.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya and Qinghu had comforted him and told him the building was very solid.

Otherwise, he would have dragged her to a safer place.

“Of course, I won’t hesitate to tell you if I need your help. Please stay here to recuperate for a few more days. I have something to do outside and will be back soon. If I can’t return on time, I will send people to pick you up.”

After fiddling with the herbs in the pharmacy for a long time, Lin Mengya finally came out.

There was a hint of exhaustion in her eyes. However, when she looked at a dozen of brocade bags in different colors in her hands, she immediately beamed with joy.

Her teacher’s words had reminded her. Since she had got the poisoned blood, she had been overly dependent on the convenience brought by it.

However, even her teacher could hardly restrain it, let alone her.

What she was going to do this time was a little dangerous, so she decided to bring some poisons to protect herself.

“Don’t worry about me. Go do what you should do. Don’t be stingy with the poisons. Send people back here after a while, and I’ll prepare more for you. Don’t be afraid of venomous insects or venomous snakes. They are more afraid of your smell now.”

As the saying went, better an open enemy than a false friend. In the past, she had survived by luck.

But she could not have good luck all the time, so she must be fully prepared.

“I see. Don’t worry, I will take good care of myself.”

Lin Mengya knew that her teacher loved her and that he would have long lived in seclusion if it were not for her.

She hugged the man who treated her as his daughter and walked out of the backyard under his worried and satisfied gaze.

She was wearing a white veil and only revealing her piercing eyes.

But all the people who had been to Sanjue Hall these days knew the woman in white was not to be trifled with.

Only the deputy hall master and a few stewards could enter the backyard at ordinary times, but she had lived there for a few days.

Although they had never guessed she was the hall master, they secretly regarded her as the hall master’s lover or wife.

No one dared to show disrespect for her because even the deputy hall master was serving her as if a servant, who could defeat Mr. Wujue easily.

Those who had had designs on her had all immediately given up.

This woman was extraordinary!

Lin Mengya walked out of Sanjue Hall under the gazes of everyone.

Seeing a small sedan waiting outside, she got in it without hesitation.

Qinghu was riding on a horse, and the two sedan carriers were walking at a quick pace.

After a short while, they arrived at an extremely secluded place in the suburbs of the Capital City.

There was nothing special. But they would arrive at the main road after rounding a small hill.

Qinghu paid the sedan carriers money, asked them to leave, and then exchanged glances with Ling Mengya.

There was no communication or explanation.

Qinghu then led her to the main road.

After a while, a group of people came from a distance.

This group was extremely spectacular because there were dozens of carriages.

Moreover, there was a four-horse carriage that few nobles of Dajin could afford.

The four horses were all purebred that were hard to buy even if one had a lot of money, and even the carriage was made of expensive wood.

The window was light, but the curtain was made of thin silk.

Even if it were an imperial family member who was using the carriage, it would look too extravagant.

But Lin Mengya and Qinghu stood in front of the carriage casually.

“Your cousin is splurging.”

Qinghu raised his eyebrows because he was able to tell the good from the bad. Lin Mengya had no clue about the value of this carriage, but he knew it clearly.

“That’s not a big deal. My uncle and maternal grandfather have prepared a lot of dowries for my mother, but they have never had a chance to give them to her. My two cousins have just added some gifts before giving them to me. The three generations of my family have saved a lot of money together, so it is OK for us to be lavish, right?”

Lin Mengya tried to pretend to be indifferent, but when she saw the spectacular fleet of carriages, she couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

When the Lin family married her to Long Tianyu, they had given her a lot of dowries.

But she hadn’t expected that the gifts now were many times more than back then.

Alas, Long Tianyu must have done some very good things in his previous life. Otherwise, he would not have married such a good wife.

“Princess and Duke, nice to meet you.”

When the fleet stopped not far away, several servants immediately ran over and greeted them respectfully.

Lin Mengya and Qinghu were not used to the new titles. But when they saw the servants being so serious, they couldn’t drop the ball now.

So, they could only nod lightly and get into the carriage under their guidance.

The interior of the carriage was even more luxurious. And the even soft satin on the seats was extremely precious.

In addition, the furnishings inside were all exquisite. Even though Lin Mengya didn’t know how much money they were worth, she was secretly surprised.

“It seems my eldest cousin wants to be a self-indulgent emperor. Look! If the old ministers of the Nation of Lintian see the things in this carriage, they will be distressed to death.”

She narrowed her eyes and smiled gently. If her two cousins had just wanted to help her keep up appearances, they would not have spent so much money.

After all, her maternal grandfather and his family loved her very much.

“Princess? Tsk tsk! You can be an empress if you want, not to mention a princess. But why do you have to fight the Empress in person? Isn’t it a tempest in a teapot?”

Qinghu sat on the soft cushion lazily. Prince Yu’s wife Lin Mengya had been announced dead to the entire world officially.

If she went back, Long Tianyu would be accused of deceiving people.

He was going to do something big in the future, so he couldn’t have such a bad reputation.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya was resourceful. She had written a letter and managed to get new and reasonable identities for both of them.

Now, Qinghu was Zuo Yuan, the legitimate son of Duke Fuyuan of the Nation of Lintian. And he had inherited the old duke’s title of nobility three months ago.

And Lin Mengya was Zuo Yunxi, the only legitimate daughter of the old duke, who had been given the title of Princess Rongan at the age of three because the deceased emperor had liked her very much.

They had changed their nationality.

But Lin Mengya was not afraid of being exposed at all.

The people in high-society circles would never do such a thing.

Because they all knew identities were more important than people.
